Restaurant week returns to Huntington

For the third year in a row, restaurants in the Town of Huntington will showcase their cuisine during Dine Huntington Restaurant Week from Sunday through Oct. 16.

Participating eateries will offer customers a 3-course dining experience for $24.95 a person plus tax and tip. The event is sponsored by the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce and Long Islander Newspapers.

Last year, Huntington’s restaurant week brought thousands of diners to area restaurants, resulting in 40,000 meals served and an estimated $1.5 million in direct sales, according to a statement.

“The impact of Dine Huntington Restaurant Week is immense,” said Bob Bontempi, the Huntington Township Chamber of Commerce chairman, in the statement. “The restaurant industry plays a huge part in our local economy. More importantly, it has a ripple effect that benefits other businesses as restaurant patrons visit nearby shops and stroll the downtown areas.”
